"Jade partnered with us to perform a large data and business process migration from one Salesforce org into another. The business processes were quite complex and required technical expertise that Jade was well-equipped to handle to integrate those processes into our Salesforce CPQ environment. The project team was with us every step of the way in the process, attending regular daily stand-ups, implementing architectural and technical suggestions to support our business case, as well as delivering regular status updates to management."
